Trump's Base is Possibly Growing

[Yonadav]

Good, glad we've got that settled and everyone knows about the cuban contribution to the latino vote as a demographic inversion to national averages in a swing state with significant republican outreach going back decades.  


I think that the best d's can hope for is that the r's focus on the wrong states...which is pretty much any and every state aside from florida.  Their messaging appeals to a known demographic subset of latinos.  Nativist latinos, latinos with core republican values, and..yes, white adjacent latinos like floridian cubans.  Playing that in california, for example, will be a flop because their demographic subsets are directly inverse to those that the message has been shown to appeal to. 

The worst, is that the r's campaign is exactly as successful as the data would suggest, focused on those demographic subsets..and by extension a swing state.  R's are playing the electoral college game, they can't win the pop anymore.  Motivating nativists to the polls for maximum political impact is kindof their bread and butter.

I don't know if it will flop in California. Like I said, it might be that Hispanics aren't being pulled to Trump so much as being pushed there. The reaction to them drifting toward Trump in this discussion has been to vilify them with hostility toward their Catholic culture, hostile comments about them being 'white adjacent', and assertions that they have nativist tendencies. Nothing good was said about Hispanics and quite frankly it all seemed pretty racist.

So if libtards are pushing Hispanics away, then it won't be all that long before California turns Red. California turned blue for basically two reasons. One was massive immigration, largely Hispanic. They tended to vote Democrat. Secondly, California became a tech center giant and a lot of educated professionals moved there, drove up real estate prices, and drove out the former Republican occupants. Democrats moved into California and Republicans moved out.

So California has a lot of white, liberal, and affluent people who drove up real estate prices and displaced a lot of people, and created hardcore NIMBY enclaves. They are a minority of California's Democratic vote. And their children are the most likely to go around screaming about conservative Catholic culture and white adjacent privilege. Social Justice Warriors in California seem to be quite capable of pushing Latinos into the waiting arms of Republicans.

I don't think there's a singular reason for this, stupidity, misinformation, us-vs-them mentality, attempt to be on the "winning" side..., but I think the most important contributing factor here is that, people who are oppressed will often seek a power figure who can enable them to become the oppressor for a change, and Trump is a great enabler in this case, he projects power and says the things people want to hear!

I don't know. It has become very popular for the libtards who invaded the left to make a lot of people on the left feel unwelcome there. Hell, the feminist movement used to advocate for the rights of all women. Now they only advocate for the rights of women who agree with them. White guys have to prove that they are not racists by constantly attacking other white guys, frequently pushing left leaning liberal white guys under the bus. How many times can a white guy who is working at a gas station be pointlessly called a racist before he goes over to the Republicans simply because his former party has become so hostile toward him? How many times can a Latino be pointlessly criticized for their Catholic heritage and their white adjacent privilege before they go over to the Republicans simply to get away from the hostility in their former party?

You did notice that nothing good was said about Hispanics in this discussion, right? If I were Hispanic, I certainly wouldn't feel welcome among libtards. I'm a white guy and I don't feel welcome because I refuse to constantly put other white guys down. I'm inherently on the left for real instead of being a social justice warrior fraud, so I can't go over to the Republicans. Libtards are doing far more harm than good to the left's cause. I think that they are pissing people off so bad that California is going to turn Red within a few more election cycles. They're shitting on Hispanics, and that is stupid beyond belief.
